Bereavement is commonly experienced by students in higher education and is associated with negative health and academic consequences. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify how grief affects students in higher education and the types of support they seek and/or find beneficial. A search of Health Collection, Medline, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, Taylor and Francis online, ProQuest, and Open Grey resulted in 30 articles that met inclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis resulted in 11 themes focused on the university experience following bereavement (six themes) and supports following bereavement (five themes). Our review highlights how grief symptoms can have a negative impact on bereaved students' academic and social experiences. These difficulties are exacerbated by barriers to accessing grief supports, and unhelpful responses from staff and peers. Students' grief is often disenfranchised and so students learn to avoid grief related emotions, communications, and support-seeking.
丧亲是高等教育学生中常见的经历，与负面的健康和学业后果有关。我们对文献进行了系统综述，以确定悲伤如何影响高等教育学生，以及他们寻求和/或发现有益的支持类型。对 Health Collection、Medline、CINAHL Plus、Web of Science、Taylor and Francis online、ProQuest 和 Open Grey 的搜索产生了 30 篇符合纳入标准的文章。叙述性综合产生了 11 个主题，重点是丧亲后的大学经历（6 个主题）和丧亲后的支持（5 个主题）。我们的综述强调了悲伤症状如何对失去亲人的学生的学业和社交经历产生负面影响。这些困难因获取悲伤支持的障碍以及工作人员和同伴的无益反应而加剧。学生的悲伤往往被剥夺了权利，因此学生学会避免与悲伤相关的情绪、沟通和寻求支持。
